Does this include keyboard etc? Is it overkill for an older non tech savvy parent? I want good hardware quality and enough power that it won't break or need replacing anytime soon
Do you need Windows? Or just for basic tasks? I'd suggest this if you don't need a Windows machine: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/leno...Id=6477625

If you're set on this device, I'd jump. Definitely a good price and doubt we'll see lower until Black Friday'ish. Aka long time.

"I wouldn't invest close to $1,000 for an 8gb system"
I think this is a better analysis. Don't spend this much on an 8GB system that can't be upgraded. Either get something way cheaper to hold you over or buy the 16GB upfront.

I myself bought the i5/8/256 just for the experience knowing that I will sell it within a year.

It says keyboard sold separately in the post. It's annoying because a Surface Pro is handicapped without a keyboard. That said, it is indeed a bit overkill. It's essentially a midrange laptop squeezed into a tablet. I have the Surface Pro 4, and I still haven't found the need to upgrade. It does everything that I need it to, and does it well. In my opinion, it's the best bang-for-buck laptop you can get right now

I've been on the fence to get one but everyone I know that has one loves it. I think I'm going to take the plunge and get it!
I have the Surface Pro 7 i7 and I love it. This one is better in just about every way from the reviews I've seen.

I don't think spending this amount for an 8gb - 128gb machine in 2022 is a good investment.

What about waiting for this year's refresh? I heard the improvements for the 12th gen is pretty good so I'm wondering if I should wait instead?

The improvements for 12th gen have placed Intel ahead of AMD this year. It's not an incremental change, it is a leapfrog from what we had available from both Intel/AMD...

The gains will also be far more significant on mobile than on desktop, with the efficiency cores increasing battery life.

What about waiting? Well.. for the past 5 years or so, waiting for the "next gen" was kind of a stupid game because the next model was only a refresh of the same processor and we had to wait at least 2 generations to see worthy improvements, 11th gen was a complete disaster on desktop computers.

But for 12th gen, this.. this is worth the wait, for the first time in 5 years, waiting is worth it...

Now you and I may get downvoted for souring the current deal, it's not available yet and we don't know the price bla bla bla, so I'd say I'm just addressing your question, nobody should take offense on facts, with the premise being that this right here is a good deal and if you need a Surface Pro right now, this right here is an excellent option.

Is this good for creating NFT art on opensea? I'm currently using an ipad pro but most of my pixel art apps are for windows.

Is 8gb of ram good enough?
16GB seems to be the sweet spot today. I upgraded my 9 year old laptops about 7 years ago and put in 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.

But this is the base model (no i3 available) and if you want 16GB of RAM it is $$$$$.

So the real question is, what will you do with it?

Do you want to spend the $$$ to get something so slick?

I do love the idea of the surface tablets but I just find it to expensive to get what you want 16GB and 1TB.

They're very different machines, it depends on your needs. From a purely hardware specs standpoint the MacBook Air is way better. But, it can't run certain programs that windows can and it can't be used as a tablet or have it's keyboard detached.

I have one. It's great if you need windows for your tasks otherwise I would go with android or iOS. They are less buggy and more user friendly as tablets.

There is also a Microsoft surface pen on sale for around 60 bucks. 40% off. It's not the latest gen but it works great.

Additionally, the SSD on this can be swapped out. It uses the M.2 2230 PCIe SSD. There are videos online that show you how to do so. I know I'm talking to the internet but I wouldn't consider this a technically challenging task and you could save a lot by upgrading disk space yourself. I'll give Microsoft credit for allowing users to do so. It's a shame what these companies are charging for disk space.
